If it is any comfort, they aren’t teaching anyone much of anything. Many of my children’s friends are Hispanic or Arab, and I’m surprised to hear the same racist/sexist jokes that were making the rounds thirty years ago. These foreigners didn’t come here to buy into the progressive agenda (and my wife is one of them).

Most southerners never thought of race at all when we beheld the Confederate flag, we felt pride in our distinct culture, which for us was not exclusive of southern blacks. It was perhaps exclusive of recently arrived northerners of any shade, unless they bought us a beer or something.

We adored Charley Pride for Pete’s sake.

Everyone opposed to the flag is assuming they can read minds, and if they truly could, there would be no flag flap.

Next thing you will hear, though it may take a few years, is that Fort Sumter is nixed.

Okay, Swamsniper et al— what’s going on in St. Augustine at the oldest fort in America which was Spanish colonial, and under many flags including the CSA?

If they’ve been taken down due to some being offended, then we can expect them to remove all those fag ‘pride’ flags... right?

If Roof had posed with a fag flag, the Charleston shootings would just have been a footnote. "Move along, nothing to see here."

Well the Confederate flag will be flying at our house tomorrow. Right next to the Gadsden. We are kind of hoping ISIS stops by so we can play Rebels and Jihadi’s. :-)
